Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a thermoplastic laser protective eyewear, and methods of manufacturing said thermoplastic laser protective eyewear. In one embodiment, the laser protective eyewear transmits energy in the visible region and absorbs or reflects energy at peak wavelengths that correspond to commercially available industrial, military and medical lasers.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an LED assembly that is compatible for use with a night vision imaging system or any other system that requires an LED with specific transmission or rejection wavelength bands. Such LEDs may emit selective wavelength bands anywhere between 400 nm and 700 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum while limiting selective wavelength bands anywhere between 700 and 1200 nanometers. In one embodiment, the LED is manufactured by coating one or more inorganic thin film optical coatings onto the LED and then protecting the LED and thin film optical coating with a resin encapsulant. In other embodiments, additional near infrared photochemical or color correcting dyes are incorporated directly into the encapsulant.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a LED assembly that is compatible for use with a night vision imaging system, Such LEDs may emit energy between 400 and 600 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum while limiting energy emissions between 600 and 1200 nanometers. Near infrared photochemistry is incorporated directly into the lens or encapsulant of an LED with an opaque package that limits transmission of visible and near infrared energy.
Abstract: A drop-in assembly which fits in the socket of an existing reading light. The assembly comprises a truncated cone of plastic or other translucent material which transmits light generated by an LED light source. The assembly has a central core of air surrounded by the plastic material and at a wide end of the assembly and positioned over a central core is a disk of diffusing material.
